Speaking of LibreOffice, WebUpd8 reader Nathan Moos mentioned some refreshing mockups called Citrus UI. Citrus tries to remain somewhat familiar while brining more logic by reorganizing things differently - such as the File menu which currently holds commands that are in no way related to the current file.

The Florida Linux Alliance Group, Inc. (flagroup.org) and the Florida Linux Show (floridalinuxshow.com) are forming a committee to work on putting TUX in the "Spherion Orlando Citrus Parade" (Citrus Bowl Parade held in Orlando, Florida).

Neil Patel is the Technical lead for Ubuntu Netbook Edition and Unity at Canonical Ltd. With the current drawbacks with Gwibber's UI in mind, Neil have created some really good looking Gwibber UI mockups.

One of the things I want to do for KDE 4.2 is a “Contacts” plasmoid: A Kopete-centered plasmoid that displays your contacts status and allows for a quick chat initiation. So far I have two mockups which I’d like feedback on — please comment!

"... if for example you have two windows in your application and both of them have a file menu, rather than having the file menu code in both of the windows, you can define an overlay and then share this one file between both windows.
